Stocks to Watch for December 30, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Superconductor Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCON) had a significant bullish momentum today, made a strong break out above its 50-day exp moving average as you can see on my daily chart above, which is very bullish. The stock is again setting up for a potential swing trade. From a technical standpoint, MACD and RSI have turned up and A/D indicator spiked upwards. Watch for continuation.

( click to enlarge )

Clovis Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:CLVS) is on the verge of really blowing up. I would not be surprised to see the stock test the $40 level at some point over the next few days. The daily technical chart sure shows a possible reversal in trend coming. Watch Wednesday's action for a possible breakout over $35.88. The technical indicators such as KD and MACD also show buy signal as %K line has just crossed on top over %D line and MACD is rising. The short-term trend is positive as the stock is trading upwards along with short-term EMAs.A break above the major resistance will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 42 zone initially.

( click to enlarge )

Nivalis Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:NVLS) closed back over the 20EMA and the volume was decent. The stock is forming a bullish MACD divergence on the daily chart, that's certaintly a sign that price can go up. I like this chart pattern and feel that NVLS will try to break through the 50EMA very soon. Keep a close eye on this stock, because once it breaks through, we should see a very fast, high volume move.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) had an unusually large spread accompanied with decent volume on the last trading day. However, today we saw some profit taking. The pull back should be seen as a natural and welcome movement. Option traders continue to target calls, so we could see further upside.

( click to enlarge )

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) broke out to new 52-week highs today. I'm expecting to see the stock continue this move on Wednesday. As long as the stock stays above the rising 50EMA, the bullish scenario is still intact. Daily technical chart shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD on top of signal line.

( click to enlarge )

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) should be on your watch screen for the rest of the week. The stock has recovered nicely and closed today above its major EMAs on solid volume. I will be watching the stock again on Wednesday for a continuation move through Tuesday’s highs of $61.32. Looks like it is starting to turn.

( click to enlarge )

Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE:WTW) gave us a nice move today, which could be the start of a bullish reversal and a short-term bottom. If the stock can break through the 50-day EMA at $20.06, we should see a strong follow through move. The accumulation chart is also moving up again with smart buying going on. Keep watching the stock.

Stocks to Watch for December 29, 2015

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) had a strong day and broke through its resistance line on decent volume. The outlook remains bullish and the stock appears on course to move to the target zone of the 10/10.4 range.

( click to enlarge )

Today's reversal in WidePoint Corporation (NYSEMKT:WYY) could be a buy signal. The stock is back at the top of its range and could make a breakout move very soon. Resistance is 76c, which is the high of this range. Technical indicators are becoming more favorable with MACD rising and RSI/ADX starting to turn up. There could be good upside in this trade, so keep WYY on your screen throughout the day on Tuesday.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) made a small move today, but still looks like it wants to go. This stock is trading slightly under the declining 100EMA and this could be the catalyst to break through. I'm setting resistance at $12, which was last week's high. If the stock breaks through, the next resistance is the 200-day EMA. The fact that the stock is holding up as volume dramatically decreases, is another sign of a future upside move. Keep watching RMBS for the next few trading sessions.

( click to enlarge )

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAG) is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode. The technical indicators are looking better for the stock with MACD indicator above its sell signal line and RSI indicator moving up from the 50% level. A close above 30.3 will impart bullishness and will help the stock move to the short-term target zone of the 32.2/50 range.

( click to enlarge )

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (NASDAQ:PPC) Setting up a possible resistance breakout trade. Long over 22.87

( click to enlarge )

I think Clovis Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:CLVS) is still in a consolidation range, waiting to make a big move (Gap). This stock is going to have a big move and it should be to the upside IMHO. The momentum indicators are attempting to turn up from oversold levels. My stop 30.89

Stocks to Watch for December 28, 2015

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) is screaming for a bounce opportunity and I think we can see some nice moves next week. Go long on the break of Thursday’s high at 8.62. Daily technical indicators are in bearish zones but are beginning to show some signs of turning around. MACD & RSI are showing positive divergences by not falling to new lows. The stock has corrected to a major support where at least a technical bounce is possible. Keep on watch.

( click to enlarge )

3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) Keep an eye on this one, looks poised to break out and run higher. Daily technical indicators are looking bullish. The MACD is rising above its signal line in positive territory and the RSI is steadily climbing towards its 50% level. A move above 10.73 next week would confirm the breakout, with an initial target of 12.09 (Declining 100EMA) and secondary target of 12.54. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Geron Corporation (NASDAQ:GERN) looks interesting here flagging nicely on low volume, tried to break out on Thursday but failed. Keep it on your watch list. A break of $5.04 with force might give the stock room to $5.30

( click to enlarge )

Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) The dip last week to $4.46 might have been an amazing opportunity for investors to snag a few shares. The stock continues to perform strongly and I would really like to see some follow through next week, so keep it on your screen throughout the day on Monday. So far the daily technical chart is still showing buy signal with stock trading above all short-term exp moving averages with MACD on top of signal line.

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) continues to garner some attention and it could explode to the upside in a new rally. I'd look to the $2.80 level moving as the next buy point. If it passes that, then we have room to run to next resistance at $3.9. On the momentum front, I'm seeing some positive divergences in several indicators, such as MACD and RSI.

( click to enlarge )

Rewalk Robotics Ltd (NASDAQ:RWLK) I think this stock looks overextended in the short-term and a pullback is more than likely going to happen relatively soon.

( click to enlarge )

Some serious upside volume coming into Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE:COG) over the last few days. Looks like it is getting ready for a breakout soon. A high volume move through the 18.09 price level would be buyable. Stay tuned.

Stocks to Watch for December 24, 2015

( click to enlarge )

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAG) As you can see in the daily technical chart above, it looks like the stock is ready to continue its run higher. The bottom is rounding and technical indicators are beginning to turn positive again.

( click to enlarge )

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (NYSE:VRX) closed back above the 50-day exponential moving average as the stock continues to rebound. At this point, the bias is on the upside as long as the 108.38 minor support remains (9-day exponential moving average).

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Nivalis Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:NVLS) are starting to heat up and are worth watching. If volume can pick up I think this stock can break through resistance around 9.50 and re-test its October highs. I started to accumulate the stock.

( click to enlarge )

Relypsa Inc (NASDAQ:RLYP) This Bullish flag formation indicates a healthy consolidation. Watch for a break higher.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) extended its rally further up, hitting a fresh six month high of $9.29. Bulls have upside technical momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) has recovered nicely from its November lows and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade if it breaks through the resistance level at $2.35. The technical indicators are looking Bullish with MACD indicator rising above its sell signal line and RSI indicator moving up from the 50% level. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch this stock closely.

( click to enlarge )

Cardiovascular Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CSII) closed above its 50-day exponential moving average for the first time since July, indicating a bullish signal. The bias is bullish in nearest term targeting $16.70 resistance area.

6 chart setups for Tuesday, December 22, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) had a nice surge a few days ago and has been consolidating that move since then. The major resistance resides around the 6.88 price region. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside targeting the 7.50/8 area.

( click to enlarge )

Clovis Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:CLVS) Price should become explosive if this chart pattern is broken to the upside with volume. From a technical standpoint, the stock has an up trending MACD, indicating potential accumulation and an up-trending RSI at 33 indicating room for potential further gains. CLVS needs to be at the top of your watch list.

( click to enlarge )

Nivalis Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:NVLS) might attempt to breakout above the $9.11 level again and if it succeed we should expect a strong move to the upside. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) remains high on my radar due to the recent run up on heavy volume. I plan to buy the stock on a break and close above $2.10 and add more on a break above $2.25. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Syngenta AG (NYSE:SYT) has recently been trading with increased volume and is about to test again the major resistance around the 79.50 level. The stock needs to close above this level to indicate a continuation of the rally and the following uptrend will take price up to $86 zone.

( click to enlarge )

Great Basin Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:GBSN) heavy volume at the bottom (around $2 level). Players are betting on a significant bounce here. The positive divergences are also evident on the hourly chart and should lead to an upward bounce. On watch. PS: This is a high risk stock.

Watch list for the week ahead - The Christmas week HO HO HO

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) Despite the market selloff on Friday, the stock closed the week above the 200-day EMA on higher-than-average volume, after the company reported a smaller quarterly loss of just three cents on revenues of $557M in its fiscal third quarter. The break of this resistance 19 months ago (June 2014) triggered a strong bullish signal and generated a massive move upward. A clear break and consistent movement above the Friday's high of 9.09 next week, could trigger further bullish pressure testing the 10/10.5 area. From a technical standpoint, daily indicators are in bullish zones. The MACD is moving above its signal line in positive territory and the RSI indicator is moving above its 50% level. Slow stochastic is also rising above its 50% level. All short/medium EMAs are rising and the stock is now above all major EMAs. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) rose most of the week, closing the week above the 50-day moving average for the first time since October. The stock has posted an impressive four day rally and continues to garner investor interest. Daily technical indicators have turned bullish. MACD is negative but is about to cross over its zero line, while momentum indicators crossed their midlines to the upside, supporting further advances. The bullish volume trend suggests buyers are accumulating stock. It could initiate a sharp rally, back to $12. As long as the stock can remain above the rising 20-day EMA, I like the stock.

( click to enlarge )

What a rally for GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) late in the day. We have to believe that this rally will resume in earnest on Monday. A break above the $20 level would give the stock momentum for a run to test the declining 50-day EMA. From a technical standpoint, the MACD is moving up showing positive momentum while RSI also show bullish movement. Plus, A/D line is moving up, it means the stock is being accumulated.

( click to enlarge )

I continue to watch Clovis Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:CLVS). The volume is still large so it could potentially try to break out again at any moment. On the daily technical chart, we can see a few things going on here. First, the The MACD continues to trend higher above its signal line. Also, RSI is indicating a potential trend reversal to the upside. Last, and definitely not least, the MFI remains above the 50 centre line. The stock look way oversold and has a big gap to fill upward. You should keep this stock on your screen radar.

( click to enlarge )

Keep Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) on your watch list. A break of 2.80 with force might give the stock room to $3.90. The stock is getting some buying and looks poised to post some nice gains if the buying volume persists. A lot of technicals (MACD & ADX) are saying VRNG is about to take off. Plus, recent insider activity has been Bullish. Continue to keep this stock on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

With the Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) holding above its 9,13 & 20 EMAs, I expect further upside. The stock may expect some resistence at $11.98 per share, the 100-day EMA. The three daily technical indicators, MACD, RSI & ADX are neutral to bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

( click to enlarge )

Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) has been in a strong uptrend since mid-November and it does not looks like this trend will change soon. The volume is still large so it could potentially break out again at any moment. Breakout watch over 6.88

Stocks to Watch for December 18, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) continues to show tremendous strength as it closed today at $6.24 above the 50-day EMA for the first time since July. Thursday’s high of $6.88 is resistance for the next upside move. Upside momentum still intact.

( click to enlarge )

Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM) Still loving this setup (Cup & Handle bottom). Buy point would be on the day it blows through $34.5 on heavy volume.

( click to enlarge )

Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) had another very productive day as we saw gains of over 2% and I believe it has more room to run. The short-term outlook remains positive for the stock. The stock finds an immediate resistance at 72.70 and support at 70.05 followed by 68.22

( click to enlarge )

Lion Biotechnologies Inc (NASDAQ:LBIO) has been consolidating nicely since it rose from $6.21 to a high of almost $8.50. To me the stock still looks poised to break higher. Looking at the technical chart above you can see that the money inflow keeps getting higher indicated by the heading up of CMF, which should eventually lead to price increases. I remain bullish on LBIO and would watch for a dip and bounce near 7.42 or a breakout over 8.22 as a potential entry point for new long positions.

Stocks to Watch for December 16, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (NYSE:VRX) has been consolidating in a flag formation over the last 2 weeks after a strong rally in late-November. Today, the stock broke out of the flag pattern and closed up $16.13 to $110.27 with high volume. A move above 114.95 would confirm the breakout and could lead to 120 initially and then 127, my secondary target. Technicals are showing bullish signals supported by positive RSI and MACD indications.

( click to enlarge )

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) may finally be ready to break higher above its 100-day EMA after a strong close today. Looking at the chart, technical indicators are flashing bullish signals. The MACD indicator is slightly negative but is rising above its signal line and the RSI is back above its 50% level. The next key resistance lies at 2.19 (EMA100). If a breakout happens we can see a target of 2.45.

( click to enlarge )

Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) continue to surge. The stock price is strong and getting stronger every day it seems. If it break through 5.19, then expect more upside. If this happens, SUNE is a good play.

( click to enlarge )

Juno Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:JUNO) had a strong bounce from the support in the $44 area with solid volume. With RSI in oversold zone, it is possible we could see a bounce up to its 200EMA at $49.30

( click to enlarge )

AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE:AKS) The share is trading in oversold territory and I expect a bounce from current levels. Today’s high is resistance for a follow through move on Thursday.

( click to enlarge )

Clovis Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:CLVS) After being trading in a bearish tone for some time the stock appears to making a comeback in favor of the bulls. It has already started its bounce back up and looks poised to break resistance at $34.74 (13EMA). I think the stock could see $35 or better in short-term.
